SSL error when using python api

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I'm able to run queries to my elasticsearch cluster using sense and command line.
However, when I try to use the python api to run the same queries, I keep getting the following error:

elasticsearch.exceptions.SSLError: ConnectionError(EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:581)) caused by: SSLError(EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:581))

This is how I create the elasticsearch object:

es = Elasticsearch(
      'myhostadress:9200',
       use_ssl=True,
       verify_certs=True
)

which returns with no errors, but every function I try to run on it (es.search(...), es.count(...), es.cluster.health(...)) fails with the SSL error. I tried not using ssl and changing the ssl version, but the result is the same.
I also tries using the elasticsearch-DSL api, same error occured/
Any help is appreciated!

What handles the SSL on the ES side?

So, apparently nothing does (I'm not managing the es cluster, just querying it)
After changing myhostaddress from https to http and changing use_ssl=False I am able to run my queries
Thanks for the response!
